This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be |
|
25 |
found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL |
|

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in |
|
30 |
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. |
|
31 |
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. |
|

More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html" |
|

||
34 |
The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain. |
